With a nod and half a smile, I thanked Nero for his good intentions, even though his attempt at humor was not exactly what I needed at the moment. Then I said, "We should search the, er, bodies. Maybe we find more clues about this place."
Then I heard Nero say he could smell Lynn. "SMELL her??" I asked with a grimace, "What are you? Half bloodhound?"
I quickly frisked the corpses nearest me, while I asked jvb if he was feeling well enough to call the others up from the sewer stairs. "We need to stay together. I don't want to find Lynn just in time to lose another member of our group."
Nero and Luc were checking the other bodies and looking at their weapons.
The mage-monster had an interesting pouch on his belt, so I opened it and found: a key ring with several well-used keys, several gold coins, and a parchment with a group portrait -- OUR GROUP!! Our faces were clearly drawn on the sheet with some odd-looking words scrawled underneath and a skull-and-crossbones drawn at the bottom.
Clearly someone had put a bounty on our heads!
"Let's find Lynn and get the blankety-blank out of here!" I said to Nero.
